BFI NETWORK and Film Hub North are partnering with Channel 4 to introduce emerging filmmakers in the region to Channel 4's talent development scheme: 4Stories.

On Saturday 6 October, we'll be screening last year's 4Stories produced films at HOME Manchester. The filmmakers will be in attendance to chat about their experiences of 4Stories and the scheme's producers will be there to discuss what they're looking for and the opportunities the initiative provides.

4Stories aims to find genuinely diverse voices, exploring contemporary stories of and by communities that are rarely seen on mainstream television. Applications are encouraged from individuals currently under-represented in TV drama - including women, disabled talent, BAME filmmakers and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
